WHEN I WAS ABOUT 4 OR 5 ,I WAS READING THE LABEL OF MY TEDDY BEAR AND USE TO SEE;MAD IN JAPAN SO FOR ME ALL THE JAPANESE WAS MAD AND WE SHOULD NEVER GO THERE CAUSE WE'LL GET MAD.BUT IT WAS MADE IN JAPAN THE E WAS GONE.THANK GOT I KNOW NOW

I believed that I was developmentally disabled and everyone around me was trying to keep it a secret from me.

I believed that good and bad days alternated so the first day was good, the next day would be bad, then good, then bad. So I would plan things by counting out the days to make sure that things were always happening on "good" days.

I believed that I was the only person in the world that would never die.

ok this is Really messed up. But I used to make believe that I was a squirrel and I would gather 'fish' (pine cones) for the winter. I didn't want to end up like the lazy grasshopper!

When I was young I used to believe that at the stroke of midnight all the dolls and stuffed animals in my room would come alive and play amongst themselves. I was impressed that they always went back to "exactly" how they were when I went to sleep.

i was a big GI Joe fan in the 80s, when i saw Sgt Slaughter in a wrestling show, i thought GI Joe and cobra were real(i was only 8)

my daughters look nothing alike...they are black/spanish/white. my youngest has light hair and no real eye color (even at age 2). she also has a minor speech delay but loves to just make unusual noises. my son (who is 12)says and is convinced of such that his sister is an alien.

When I was little I was always afraid that our house would be on fire, and that my toys would burn inside the house. So for a period I had all my toys in boxes by the door so that if the house started burning I could just grab them on my way out. This never happened, however, so after some time I put the toys back into my room.

I used to look for evidence that I was actually the last person on earth and that everyone else was an angel sent from God to pretend to be human so that I could have a normal life. Vacations were usually the occaision on which this suspicion would crop up again because I would so often see something in another city that looked almost exactly like a place I knew very well back at home. I would imagine that maybe there was just a little piece of the earth left and when I was "traveling" all the angels would run around changing the "set". I remember asking my mother once if she was really an angel pretending to be my mother. She laughed pretty hard and then said, "Believe me, I'm no angel!"

I used to believe that I was in a dollhouse and if I didn't behave like a normal person, the person who was playing with me would take me out of my house and put me in a different one.

I thought that I was the only real person on the planet.

My little cousins believe that if you let go of a helium balloon and it floated up into the sky, it would go to BalloonLand and be able to sing, talk, and dance. It would also become a star in the sky.

When I was 5 or 6 i believed the Pilsbury Dough Boy was real. I asked my parents for one for Christmas. I was very disappointed to discover he wasn't real when I tried to poke him in his stomach and he didn't giggle.

I have no idea where I got this from, but when I was little I used to believe that this wasn't my real life I was living, but a dream life. I believed that I was actually still a newborn baby, and I was having this long, complex dream about my life to come. And that when I died in this dream life, I would wake up and my real life would begin. But everything would happen the same way, so in case I didn't like something, I would know about it happening ahead of time and I could change it.

I was a tomboy when I was younger, and was convinced that eventually I would just turn into a boy. I thought me being a girl was a mistake, because I thought girls liked to wear dresses and makeup and play with dolls. I didn't like any of those things, so I thought I was a boy. Then one day one of my friends mother told me that if you kissed you elbow you would turn into a boy. I only tried a short time before I realized that wasn't possible.

But I'm happy being a girl now.

I used to believe I was Polish when I was five years old. I have no idea why. I convinced myself I could speak fluent Polish and proceeded, for two weeks or so, to chat away to random strangers in the street in something akin to complete gibberish.

i used to believe that my father paid my friends to be my friends. i once made the mistake of revealing this paranoia to my friend, and she's been acting suspiciously ever since...
